Abstract
Video games are among the most popular consumer electronic products in the world. They are having a growing mass appeal both as an interactive recreational activity, in which one can engage individually or with other players, and as a passive entertainment in the form of viewership of broadcasted gaming events, including e-sports and live-streamed games (e.g., twitch.tv). Modern games offer a diverse range of unique and highly immersive experiences. Portable consoles and smart devices have promoted the ubiquity of video games by making them easily accessible almost anywhere.
